YAMAHA BB2005: £420 NOW SOLD
I've had this on the block before. I know it sounds salesy, but I took it off when I realised it wasn't financially worth £800-£1000. It plays like it is. It was my first 5 string and has survived years of buying and selling because frankly it's brilliant.
This is more modest version of Yamaha's BBNE2 Nathan East signature. Thru-neck, 2 Jazz style pickups into an active preamp. Controls are volume, PU pan, bass, treble, mid frequency select & mid cut toggle switch (like a slap contour). Very tight B-string and remarkably even sound across all strings.
I bought this used in 2006. It's in great condition, considering it was my No.1 bass for years. There are a couple of dings on the underside of the bass, a light scuff on the headstock. The strings are fairly old, but I will throw some brand new Sadowsky Nickel rounds (40-125) in the case if you if you want. It will come with a fairly-knackered-but-still-very-sturdy SKB semi-hard case.
Nick Fyffe used one of these during his time in Jamiroquai, it's all over the Montreaux DVD:

Here's me playing it on some recordings of a previous iteration of my current band. I prefer the sound on 'Recipe' and think it reflects the sound of the blended pickups better... For 'Messin' Around' I may have favored the bridge a tad.

You can run trades past me, but the only ones I'm likely to consider are if you have one of the NEW model Fender American Precision Deluxe 4-strings.
I am based in Kingston-upon-Thames. I have no car and would prefer a local/pickup sale, however I am very happy to ship at the buyers cost if necessary (inc. internationally). Paypal is fine.
